Here's an ear-catching Sonic Youth song (off of Sister) that can be played
with normal tunage. The basic chord structure (and the intro) is:

E5E5 D#5D#5  A5A5
Bur-ning ....

 (Riff)
I cross myself, ...

      E5E5 D#5D#5   A5A5
Because I am not ...

 (Riff)
Digging ...

E5E5    D#5D#5  A5A5

 (Riff played twice)
We cross it out ...


(after this part, the sonic noise steps in for awhile then it goes back to
the intro again)


E5E5 D#5D#5  A5A5
Bur-ning ...

  (Riff)
We cross it ...


The song gets sonically noisy again with the high E-string riff playing
repeatedy. And that is it!
